Sleeved in December and I feel amazing



Recommended Posts


Yes siree bub. I just turned 60, and as kids were told, guilted really,, that we had to finish everything on our plate because "children were starving in Korea.", so I did.

Not only that, but I finished everyone else's plate as well.

Saving children in both north and south Korea was my goal.




Same problem!!!

I had a stall. About a 2 weeks ago.. stayed the same for about 10 days.. that's ok.. I stepped up my exercise.. I have a Fitbit, that was a great investment:) keeps me moving. If you don't have one I would definitely suggest picking one up! Now my scale is on the move again. I hit my first goal.. u see 200 pounds;) first time in 7 years:)

The hunger we feel during the pre-surgery diet, does it feel the same after surgery? Meaning is it a struggle when you smell foods and watch others eat. I am on day 11 of full liquids pre surgery. It's been tough the last two days not to take a bite out of everything I see.

No, the pre-op diet was rough for me too, but it's much better after surgery (for me at least).

Thank you:)
Products: none
Exercise: to lose the 50 pounds I just get moving. I have a Fitbit. As long as I was over 6500 steps I would lose the next day/) I'm starting the gym this weekend. I go on hikes and I have so much. Ore energy so I move more
Meals: normal just smaller. Still don't eat rice, Pasta or bread.. or I should say very little. Protein first chicken, fish, things like that and vegetables.. fruit.
Protein shakes: Premier Protein.< br>ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1488211536.723196.jpg.852d6e077b38bb5cec118be048cced82.jpg hope that helps. Ask as many as you would like:)

Your story is similar to mine as well. Lost 10 lbs before surgery. I was sleeved December 7th 2016. I have lost an additional 43 lbs which is 50% of the xcess weight. Started working out, jogging, and yoga. I feel amazing. I agree best decision EVER! Congrats on your success and keep up the good work. Hard work=success.

Congrats I'm so happy for you!!!

I was sleeved on December 14th, lost close to 50 pounds so far. A little concerned because I had a stall for almost 3 weeks and I didn't know what to do.. then I checked the scale like two days ago and it started moving.

Any stall problems??

Also anyone that has second thoughts about the sleeve like I did.. get it! Best thing I've done for myself health and confidence wise.

I was extremely weak from chemo and I have myasthenia gravis (causes weakness). I have to argue with myself to exercise. I am walking and moving a lot more. But do need to get into a better fitness routine.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
